Could it be a seizure? Stroke? No! Help Please >_> Insight from experts MUCH NEEDED<3

Hi guys, I am super new here, like, 30 min new but happy I found this group. I am....uh...obsessed with ma babies.(Bro and Zumi) I literally turned a whole closet into a rat playground for my two buddies that are both around 1.5 yo. I hate to compare them to dogs because they're apples and oranges (and I actually prefer rats) but in terms of expression of affection they really do feel like two small puppies as whenever I go into they're playground/farm they run to welcome me with licks, teeth chattering rolling over and will even fall asleep on my lap.


Well, yesterday the scariest thing happened tho. I heard something that sounded like them wrestling so I went to check on them and saw Zumi kind of on his side trying to get up but a whole side of him was stiff and he would get up and try to walk not that fast and he would fall...so i picked him up gently to check for an injury to see if he fell from anywhere or something like that and he didnt squeak or anything and didnt look like he was in any pain, just..paralyzed on one side? so i thought he was maybe having a stroke, however shortly after being on my lap he got up a little slowly and soon enought got back to normal!!!


it was really really strange and I still dont understand what happened, I couldnt find anything on seizures on just one side of the body and what I did find showed rats really going crazy before being still and he didn't do that or at least I didn't see it happen. And I read that it takes weeks for them to recover from a stroke so really lost and confused here on what to do...
